UNIVERSITY OF SUSSEX LIBRARY

From October 2005 we shall be making significant changes to the way we
deliver our services.
We shall establish:

· a team to support learning and teaching.
· a team to support researchers.
· a Technical Development Team to manage electronic and web-based
services.

To support these initiatives we shall create three new professional posts
offering exciting opportunities to provide effective library services in
the areas of learning, teaching and research.

For the Research Liaison Manager and the Learning and Teaching Support
Manager posts, we shall appoint professional librarians with extensive
experience of successfully managing similar services in a large Higher or

These roles offer varied and challenging opportunities for leadership and
innovation. Energy, commitment, and first-rate communication skills are
essential.
